The Police Command in Enugu has dismissed a video clip currently in circulation, alleging that a part of the state is not safe due to a series of kidnappings there.
A statement by the Commands Spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe deemed the clip and its contents as false.
The clip depicted gunshots and people running in a forest, with the accompanying message that Enugu-Ugwogo is not safe and that hoodlums kidnapped three times.
But Ndukwe explained that forensic analysis of the video indicate that it did not happen anywhere in the country, let alone Enugu State.
The spokesman said nonetheless, the Command acknowledges the recent reoccurrence of acts of kidnapping at some locations of the said road but wished to clearly state that sensationalising and blowing the situation out of proportion was wicked.
